what does static do in java code example
Example 1: static in java
//Java Program to get the cube of a given number using the static method
using static before a method or variable we can access it by not creating a
instance of it.in the program we directly used student.cube(5)
class Calculate{
static int cube(int x){
return x*x*x;
}
public static void main(String args[]){
int result=Calculate.cube(5);
System.out.println(result);
}
}
Example 2: static keyword in java
Static keyword is used a lot in java.
Static means, you
can access those static variables
without creating an object,
just by using a class name.
This means that only one instance of
that static member is created which
is shared across all instances of the class.
Basically we use static keyword when
all members share same instance.
Example 3: why we use static in java
In Java, static keyword is mainly used for memory management.
It can be used with variables, methods, blocks and nested classes.
It is a keyword which is used to share the same variable or method of a given
class. Basically, static is used for a constant variable or a method
that is same for every instance of a class
Example 4: static keyword in java
// example on static method in java.
public class StaticMethodExample
{
static void print()
{
System.out.println("in static method.");
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
StaticMethodExample.print();
}
}
Example 5: static in java
static keyword is a non-access modifier. static keyword can be used with
class level variable, block, method and inner class or nested class.
Example 6: java what is static
In the Java programming language, the keyword static indicates that the particular member belongs to a type itself,
rather than to an instance of that type.
This means that only one instance of that static member is created which is shared across all instances of the class.
